This is a big step in the right direction for Buckner, who was only cleared to practice just days ago after undergoing surgery in the offseason. The expectation was for the Colts to take it easy on him, and they still may, but it certainly appears Buckner is getting back in rhythm.

DeForest Buckner has passed his physical and will practice with the Colts in training camp despite fears he may miss some time. It is worth noting, however, that the team will be taking it easy on him with a ramp up process.

This is great news for a Colts team that is looking to build off their newfound success in 2025. Buckner should help anchor their defensive front and will look to rebound after coming off of an injury shortened season.

DeForest Buckner's return for the start of training camp is reportedly "very much up in the air."

Buckner underwent neck surgery late last season which has limited him so far in the Colts offseason program. This will remain a situation to monitor over the next month.
